Good grief. You need me to explain what the term "as a whole" means? Really? And you're insulted because many on this thread are calling you out for being simplistic? Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.

I swear, I understand more and more each day the things my dad told me.
I did answer that in post #54:

As to your last point, I think Asians place more of an emphasis on education than any other race.

Everyone has a father. Technically speaking.

The stat is 70% of black children are born out of wedlock. Not 70% of black children have no father around.

The question comes down to who is mire racist - liberals or conservatives.

I voted for liberals.

Since more people have said that claiming that all people are equal and capable of success is "racist" - it is evident that this board leans to the left.

I didn't call you a name. I just stated a fact about your poll.

You write things and when asked to back them up, you insult. This is what you wrote:

but women as a whole still get paid 77 cents to every dollar a man earns

I am simply asking you to provide some context, what does that mean?

The poll is a Hobson's choice.

If you cannot figure it out, I certainly can't explain it to you. Hence my previous post--if you don't understand the alphabet, how can we expect you to understand whole words and sentences? And you are proving that you can't.
